Those of you who been playing Splinterlands since its creation might know exactly what my title entails. For those who have forgotten or might not know the Monster Trainer Early Bird was the name of one of the many packages the First Ever Splinterlands Kickstarter had on offer for the earliest of investors. Here today I'm going to go over the contents of that package and show current USD values of those contents. The Early Bird package orginal cost was $200.
| Contents | Todays Value |
|---|---|
| SpellBook | $10 |
| 110 Alpha Booster Packs | $ 48,870 |
| Dragon Whelping Runt | $19.90 |
| Dragon Whelping Runt Gold | $93 |
| Nebi-Seni Summoner | $127.71 |
| Nebi-Seni Gold Summoner | $199 |
| Royal Dragon Archer | $1,200 |
| Royal Dragon Archer Gold | $100,000 |
No your eyes do not deceive you. Yes those are real numbers and real returns on an early Splinterlands investment that cost $200 USD. To be fair the Royal Dragon Archer Gold that is listed for $100,000 USD is unlikely to sell in todays market. So even if we ignore the $100,000 mark up for the Gold Royal Dragon we are still left with a grand total of $50,519.61 USD worth of value.
For me the most shocking value here is the Alpha Boosters that are currently selling for $444+. These Alpha boosters orginally had a base value of $2 USD and for the savvy investor could of been attained for less then $2 USD. That is one amazing price increase in just three years. Congrats to Splinterlands and a big Congrats to anyone who managed to hold Alpha Boosters as an investment.
The Prophecy states "that which was Splintered shall be made whole."
The world was once a whole and complete floating world where all monsters and summoners lived together with one sun and six moons, but nearly a thousand years ago there was a cataclysm and the world Splintered. Each Splinter has since been doing their best to survive and regroup. Some work to make the world whole, some believe it never was whole, and others work to keep it torn apart. Recently, a plague has been affecting monsters and summoners from all the Splinters called "The Burn".
There are 6 Splinters, each with their own sets of summoners, monsters, customs, talents, and drawbacks. There's a backstory to the land itself and we're working on a hundred+ page campaign guide to show everyone, in astonishing detail, what the world looks like in the Splinterlands.
There's music that's been crafted for this game too. When my six-year-old daughter said, "It sounds like adventure!" I knew we'd hit the mark. This helps set the stage for all the stories we tell and have yet to write.
Each and every card in the game will have custom backstories, as well. Learn how Zintar Mortalis became a summoner for the Dark Eternals when he siphoned all life around him to keep his son alive. Feel the pain of the Twisted Jester as he stalks the lands looking for Lord Rotchild who murdered his wife and children and left him for dead. Look at your child's face as they see young Talia send jets of fire from her hands to burn off the gelatinous cube threatening her pregnant mom and big sister. Feel the heat of the fire beetles endlessly carrying the sparkstone.
We're more than a game; we are a collection of rich stories detailing compelling characters in heroic action.
